“How can I start this, I'm on a big quest to find the best burgers around the world, and I might say that this one stole the top spot with some ease. Nothing to stray you from what matters, great meat, fluffy bun and fresh salad, but what takes it to another level is the perfect level of salt here. Place was OK, nothing special, but it doesn't needed to be, thay have the best product and that's what matters! Congrats can wait to be back to LA to eat this again.“

The Raposão was unreal – juicy, flavorful, and all kinds of awesome. Seriously, you need to check this place out. It's my new go-to for burgers.“

“I'm a big fan of Burger she Wrote. One of my top 5 places for burgers in LA and if your in town a must try. I'm looking forward to new location opening. But there is some major competition around the corner at Marathon just a block down the street that is always packed. Then NADC burger just opened up and that's hands down the best burger in LA. Hopefully Burger she Wrote is set on meeting the competition and the grilled cheese burger looks like a step in the right direction.“

“Best smash burger in the South Bay.
Usually go with the classic, just had the hickory, it was amazing

The fries are out of this world, mainly because they are frying them in beef tallow.

Lemonade is delicious, and if you are dining in, they’ll even give you free refills! Top notch operation!“

“Lugar tranquilo para disfrutar de una muy buena hamburguesa 😋😋😋“

“Best burgers 🍔 ever. Missed them.“

“Delicioso!!!!! Muy recomendado“

“Solid burgers and hot dogs. Very straightforward and friendly staff and owner. They get it done. Onion rings and a burger with an orange bang. That’s my order. 16 bucks and the rest for tip.

I’m here once a week. But this week I was here three times.“

“I keep going back to this place, and usually try something new. Every single dish is delicious. This place is owned and run by people who love to eat fresh, nutritious, delicious food. And it shows. 100% recommend“

“Great breakfast burritos! The salsa is a great addition, and they're fresh and flavorful. Great size and easy to eat as they're wrapped in the tortilla well for hand-carry.“

“the best sliders in Los Angeles with tasty crispy tots and amazing sauce. not to mention a kickass staff“

“Animal style burgers !!!!!“

“The burgers are flavorful and tasty. The ingredients are fresh, and the meat is of excellent quality. The meat is so tender that it virtually melts in your mouth, and the sauce adds to the flavor. Juicy and slightly pink in the middle, there was nothing that I did not like. This is the place to go if you're looking for a great burger in LA. P.S: "First Light Farms" provides their beef, which is certified humane, halal, and free of antibiotics, GMOs, and hormones (a New Zealand meat company).“

“I LOVE the burgers and tater tots here! I’ve been following them for several location moves and always recommend it anyone. Super delicious and my favorite cheat meal!“

“Delicious, a wonderful experience and loved the waitress!“

“We are visiting town from Texas and ran across Irvs burgers in Balboa. Service was friendly and quick. Breakfast burritos was perfect and the patty melt was amazing. Definitely recommend the chili cheese fries as well. The manager was friendly and welcoming! Thank you for your hospitality, quick eat, and delicious ice ice cream!“

“After reading that Chowhound rated Hiho Burger as the best burger in Calif, I decided I wanted to try one for myself. And I must say the burger was delicious. But I loved the fries even more. And the vanilla shake, though small was truly flavorful. I enjoyed everything including the complimentary, help yourself water.“

“Great food . I do love a tasty burger“

“I went through the Drive Thru and the person in front of me paid for my order. I went ahead and paid for the person behind me. I’m wondering how many paid it forward today.“

“Must try fried chicken!!!“

“Truck driver here. Was delivering nearby and saw this place was in walking distance. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Fast service and courteous staff. Glad I tried it.“

“Was not sure what to expect here as we were just hungry and swung by. Friendly service: the woman who helped us offered recommendations and explained items on the menu. Atmosphere is nothing special, just a clean area with tables and chairs. We got the Korean Galbi burrito, which was good but had too many raw onions, and the sou garlic Korean chicken wings, which were as good as any we’ve had in the area! Fried potato balls were a unique addition to the meal. Would recommend them if you’re wanting a little treat, but they’re not essential. Pretty good prices for generous servings!“

“Great food and friendly, cheerful service. Always a boost to eat here…“

“very good food and good service.“

“Great LA experience in the heart of West Hollywood!“

“I saw this place while driving and saw a line waiting for their food, so I decided to give it a try.. Ì asked those in line, what was good there.. The answer was either the teriyaki bowl or plates, and the teriyaki burgers.. I got the teriyaki chicken bowl.. it looked and smelled great driving home.. After eating it, I didn’t understand the line of people waiting.. It was okay, but in my opinion, no big deal.. I’ll be honest, I did eat it ALL, and the serving size was BIG, so by no means was it bad.. To be fair though, I’m gonna have to try again, and see what I missed the first time..“

“Frankin It Up makes a really good burger! I have walked by a bunch of times and today finally was able to stop in for dinner. I had the Wag burger and spuds.

The burger was delicious and the spuds were great.

Jeff is super friendly as well.

Highly recommend. Also as a note, this is super close to Hinano Cafe which always gets rated as a great burger… Frankin It Up is a far better burger so if you’re in the area and can choose one, go with Frankin It Up.“

“Hidden gem type of spot that reminds you why local food joints still matter. What started as a stop for a chicken burger quickly turned into one of the more memorable comfort food experiences I’ve had in Hollywood.

The balance between a classic burger spot and a full Korean kitchen is executed incredibly well. You can tell this isn’t a place trying to force two concepts together. Everything on the menu feels intentional and well thought out. The chicken was perfectly cooked with great texture and flavor, while the Korean dishes carried that authentic homemade quality that’s hard to fake.

The atmosphere has that hometown neighborhood feel where the staff genuinely make you feel welcomed the second you walk in. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and everyone behind the counter seemed to actually care about the experience they were providing.

Another standout was the drink selection. Plenty of beers on tap along with a solid variety of drinks that pair perfectly with the food whether you’re stopping in casually or hanging out for a while.

What impressed me most was the consistency across the board. A lot of places do one thing well and everything else feels secondary. Here, the food, service, atmosphere, and menu variety all carried equal weight.

If you’re anywhere near Hollywood and want something that feels both elevated and genuinely local, this spot is absolutely worth the visit.“

“Food is great and staff is so friendly and helpful. It’s right on the beach, perfect for enjoying the outside.“

“Absolutely brilliant place. Fantastic staff (Katy) who is lovely. Brilliant atmosphere and well worth visiting for a drink when in Venice“

“Cassell's Hamburgers is a fantastic spot that delivers a classic burger experience done right. The atmosphere is simple, clean, and welcoming, with a nostalgic feel that adds to the charm. The burgers are fresh, juicy, and full of flavor, clearly made with high-quality ingredients and attention to detail. The sides are well-prepared and complement the main dishes perfectly. The staff was friendly, efficient, and attentive, making the visit smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. Service was quick without sacrificing quality, and everything felt well organized even during busy times. I was very impressed with the consistency and overall experience. I would highly recommend Cassell's Hamburgers to anyone looking for a great, classic burger in Los Angeles.“

“Always a fun time. Staff & service are great.“

“Excellent food and service. Thank you!“

“It’s the best lettuce wrapped double burger I had. Ingredients are high quality. This place won’t disappoint you. My 5 year old was very impressed with the custom burger. Casual atmosphere, great music and patio. Ate there two days in a row.“

“I love the delicious and tasty food. The staff is friendly, social and attentive. Service is fast and efficient. love them.“
